Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) Researcher Working On New Way To Display Pictures And Videos

Intel Corporation(NASDAQ:INTC) researches are
reportedly working on a new method to display images and videos, making them
more collaborative and interactive.

Senior technology evangelist for Intel, Manny
Vara said that it is about being able to display images of any kind on any
surface. The new way is going to change we interact with things.

Researchers have demonstrated the technology
still under development at European Research and Innovation Conference that
took place in Barcelona previous month.

With the swipe of a finger, images and videos can
be flawlessly transferred from computers to any smooth surface, a wall, a
tabletop or a bowl. With the help of other touches, the pictures can be
reordered, made smaller or enlarged. With just a tap, the videos will start to
play.

Vara explained that the sensors pick up the
motion of the user’s hand and transfer the touches into directions. More the
sensors, better the tracking. Vara said that the sensors would know when
someone grabs an image and it would also know if it is going left or right.

Ultimately, users would not even have to touch
the thumbnail of videos and photos to activate or move them. Only a gesture
would be enough to perform functions.

While Vara said that he would expect the
technology to be used in the home to show videos and photos, he also mentioned
that he envisions it being a helpful technology in the venture, allowing
workers to easily work together in a meeting or any other case.

An analyst at Technology Business Research, Ezra
Gottheil said that he can see this type of technology being set up in a lot of
offices. He said that the technology must be useful in offices whenever there
is a team meeting. He added that the feature is nothing outstanding but if it
works well, it may find its place to a lot of conference rooms in future.
